What is Neighbourhood working?

It is the council working with residents to shape their own areas and neighbourhoods by developing local solutions for the things that matter most to them. This approach involves

  • Communities being empowered to influence and shape the services they receive
  • Listening to residents to establish local priorities
  • Service providers working together to deliver efficient well coordinated services at a local level

Information is currently on the main council website about each ward.

This page will be developed to contain a range of helpful and practical resources for neighbourhood working in York. Downloadable resources can be found on the right hand side of this page.
